If LimeWire is connected to 4 ultrapeers and the connections seem stable (they are at least a minute old or so) than you should be seeing about 150 results per search (a little more for very popular searches like 'tool').
If that's not the case, something is wrong but I don't know exactly what it could be. Are you using the default settings?

If I ever got 150 results on any Limewire search I wouldn't know what to do.

The point remains however. 150 on Limewire vs 1,500+ on BearShare. 10 times more. Why??
Every LimeWire ultrapeer you are connected to sends only so many searches to other ultrapeers until it returned 38 results. Then it stops sending further searches and if you are lucky, a few more results trickle in. This is saving a lot of bandwidth and keeps users from entering general searches like "mp3 mp3".
